During a further provenance assessment, the E.G. Bührle Collection has found five works that could fall under the scope of the latest guidelines for dealing with Nazi-looted art. The works will be removed from the exhibition at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
The re-examination of the provenance of the works was based on the new "Best Practices" for dealing with looted art published by the US State Department in March of this year, as the E.G. Bührle Collection Foundation announced on Friday.
The paintings in question are by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gauguin, among others. According to the press release, the foundation intends to seek fair and equitable solutions with the descendants or other legal successors of the former owners.
In addition to the five works that could fall under the latest "best practices", another work was identified that is classified as a case to be considered separately.
